I could be wrong, but I beleive the DiretShow object solves this? I'm really not sure which object it is for certain, but one of them deffinatly solved the problem for me.
Edit: Nope, it's deffinatly not DirectShow... Prehaps someone else knows what the object/extension is...?
You can't Jon. This is the time it takes to reload the midi I believe. It happens to me all the time with MMF1.5. I've just learned to get used to it, but maybe MMF2 solves this?

Yeah I've deffinatly got it looping perfectly before, just it was about a year ago now and I never really look into the new objects with MMF2... Sorry I can't help too much :/
to solve this problem, you have to use the MCI object.
at the start of the frame, you send a command to open and play the file, and you add a loop that always check the current position of the song. when the position = the total duration, you send another "play" command...
with this, you just have a freeze time at the start of the frame, but not at each song loop... you can if you want load all midis at the start of your game to have 0 latency on the other frames
